    Verdict

    An ordinary contest to open the card at Ascot that can go to Capulette, whose confidence will have been done the world of good after her narrow defeat of Brazilian Terrace in a similar contest at Newmarket a fortnight ago. The Michael Jarvis-trained three-year-old has always been held in high regard by her connections and should be capable of following up on these terms if she is in a similar mood today. Tusk and Mark Of Zorro are others to consider if supported in the betting ring, but have a little to prove in conceding the selection weight. The same sentiments apply to Blue Patrick, who is faced with a more realistic target than when he was outclassed in the Britannia Handicap last time out. He could go well at a price but, in contrast to Capulette, he is yet to conclusively prove that he has trained on this year.
